What does powder coat mean and why it is important for outdoor furniture?
Our frames are finished with an advanced multi-step powder coat process. Powder coat refers to a coating process where raw powdered plastic is fused onto the aluminum frames in an oven. All frames go through a chemical wash, epoxy primer coat, curing, polyester topcoat, and re-curing. The 400 curing oven melts the plastic to effectively encase the frames in a nylon and polyester coating making them impervious to corrosion. Powder coating is environmentally friendly as there are no solvents to evaporate.
